[![Testing](https://github.com/wp-cli/package-command/actions/workflows/testing.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/wp-cli/package-command/actions/workflows/testing.yml) Quick links: [Using](#using) | [Installing](#installing) | [Contributing](#contributing) | [Support](#support) Using ----- [](#using) This package implements the following commands: ### wp package [](#wp-package) Lists, installs, and removes WP-CLI packages. ``` wp package ``` WP-CLI packages are community-maintained projects built on WP-CLI. They can contain WP-CLI commands, but they can also just extend WP-CLI in some way. Learn how to create your own command from the [Commands Cookbook](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/commands-cookbook/) **EXAMPLES** ``` # List installed packages. $ wp package list +-----------------------+------------------+----------+-----------+----------------+ | name | authors | version | update | update_version | +-----------------------+------------------+----------+-----------+----------------+ | wp-cli/server-command | Daniel Bachhuber | dev-main | available | 2.x-dev | +-----------------------+------------------+----------+-----------+----------------+ # Install the latest stable version of the package. $ wp package install wp-cli/server-command Installing package wp-cli/server-command (^2.0) Updating /home/person/.wp-cli/packages/composer.json to require the package...

Success: Uninstalled package. ``` ### wp package browse [](#wp-package-browse) Browses WP-CLI packages available for installation. ``` wp package browse [--fields=] [--format=] ``` Lists packages available for installation from the [Package Index](http://wp-cli.org/package-index/). Although the package index will remain in place for backward compatibility reasons, it has been deprecated and will not be updated further. Please refer to [wp-cli/ideas#51](https://github.com/wp-cli/ideas/issues/51)to read about its potential replacement. **OPTIONS** ``` [--fields=] Limit the output to specific fields. Defaults to all fields. [--format=] Render output in a particular format. --- default: table options: - table - csv - ids - json - yaml --- ``` **AVAILABLE FIELDS** These fields will be displayed by default for each package: - name - description - authors - version There are no optionally available fields. **EXAMPLES** ``` $ wp package browse --format=yaml --- 10up/mu-migration: name: 10up/mu-migration description: A set of WP-CLI commands to support the migration of single WordPress instances to multisite authors: Nícholas André version: dev-main, dev-develop aaemnnosttv/wp-cli-dotenv-command: name: aaemnnosttv/wp-cli-dotenv-command description: Dotenv commands for WP-CLI authors: Evan Mattson version: v0.1, v0.1-beta.1, v0.2, dev-main, dev-dev, dev-develop, dev-tests/behat aaemnnosttv/wp-cli-http-command: name: aaemnnosttv/wp-cli-http-command description: WP-CLI command for using the WordPress HTTP API authors: Evan Mattson version: dev-main ``` ### wp package get [](#wp-package-get) Gets information about an installed WP-CLI package. ``` wp package get [--fields=] [--format=] [--skip-update-check] ``` **OPTIONS** ``` Name of the package to get information for. [--fields=] Limit the output to specific fields. Defaults to all fields. [--format=] Render output in a particular format. --- default: table options: - table - csv - json - yaml --- [--skip-update-check] Skip checking for updates. This is faster and avoids authentication issues with GitHub or Composer repositories. ``` **AVAILABLE FIELDS** These fields will be displayed by default for each package: - name - authors - version - update - update\_version These fields are optionally available: - description **EXAMPLES** ``` # Get information about an installed package. $ wp package get wp-cli/scaffold-package-command +----------------+---------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +----------------+---------------------------------+ | name | wp-cli/scaffold-package-command | | authors | Daniel Bachhuber | | version | dev-main | | update | available | | update_version | 2.x-dev | +----------------+---------------------------------+ # Get the version of a package. $ wp package get wp-cli/server-command --fields=version --format=json {"version":"dev-main"} ``` ### wp package install [](#wp-package-install) Installs a WP-CLI package. ``` wp package install [--insecure] [--interaction] ``` Packages are required to be a valid Composer package, and can be specified as: - Package name from WP-CLI's package index. - Git URL accessible by the current shell user. - Path to a directory on the local machine. - Local or remote .zip file. Packages are installed to `~/.wp-cli/packages/` by default. Use the `WP_CLI_PACKAGES_DIR` environment variable to provide a custom path. When installing a local directory, WP-CLI simply registers a reference to the directory. If you move or delete the directory, WP-CLI's reference breaks. When installing a .zip file, WP-CLI extracts the package to `~/.wp-cli/packages/local/`. If Github token authorization is required, a GitHub Personal Access Token () can be used. The following command will add a GitHub Personal Access Token to Composer's global configuration: composer config -g github-oauth.github.com <GITHUB\_TOKEN> Once this has been added, the value used for <GITHUB\_TOKEN> will be used for future authorization requests. **OPTIONS** ``` Name, git URL, directory path, or .zip file for the package to install. Names can optionally include a version constraint (e.g. wp-cli/server-command:@stable). [--insecure] Retry downloads without certificate validation if TLS handshake fails. Note: This makes the request vulnerable to a MITM attack. [--interaction] Control interactive mode. Use `--no-interaction` to disable prompts (interactive by default). Useful for scripting. ``` **EXAMPLES** ``` # Install the latest stable version of a package. $ wp package install runcommand/hook # Install the latest stable version (explicitly specified). $ wp package install wp-cli/server-command:@stable # Install a package hosted at a GitLab.com URL. $ wp package install https://gitlab.com/foo/wp-cli-bar-command.git # Install a package in a .zip file. $ wp package install google-sitemap-generator-cli.zip ``` ### wp package is-installed [](#wp-package-is-installed) Checks if a given package is installed. ``` wp package is-installed ``` Returns exit code 0 when installed, 1 when uninstalled. **OPTIONS** ``` The package to check. ``` **EXAMPLES** ``` # Check whether "foo/bar" is installed; exit status 0 if installed, otherwise 1 $ wp package is-installed foo/bar $ echo $? 1 ``` ### wp package list [](#wp-package-list) Lists installed WP-CLI packages. ``` wp package list [--fields=] [--format=] [--skip-update-check] ``` **OPTIONS** ``` [--fields=] Limit the output to specific fields. Defaults to all fields. [--format=] Render output in a particular format. --- default: table options: - table - csv - ids - json - yaml --- [--skip-update-check] Skip checking for updates. This is faster and avoids authentication issues with GitHub or Composer repositories. ``` **AVAILABLE FIELDS** These fields will be displayed by default for each package: - name - authors - version - update - update\_version These fields are optionally available: - description **EXAMPLES** ``` # List installed packages. $ wp package list +-----------------------+------------------+----------+-----------+----------------+ | name | authors | version | update | update_version | +-----------------------+------------------+----------+-----------+----------------+ | wp-cli/server-command | Daniel Bachhuber | dev-main | available | 2.x-dev | +-----------------------+------------------+----------+-----------+----------------+ # List installed packages without checking for updates. $ wp package list --skip-update-check +-----------------------+------------------+----------+--------+----------------+ | name | authors | version | update | update_version | +-----------------------+------------------+----------+--------+----------------+ | wp-cli/server-command | Daniel Bachhuber | dev-main | none | | +-----------------------+------------------+----------+--------+----------------+ ``` ### wp package path [](#wp-package-path) Gets the path to an installed WP-CLI package, or the package directory. ``` wp package path [] ``` If you want to contribute to a package, this is a great way to jump to it. **OPTIONS** ``` [] Name of the package to get the directory for. ``` **EXAMPLES** ``` # Get package path. $ wp package path /home/person/.wp-cli/packages/ # Get path to an installed package. $ wp package path wp-cli/server-command /home/person/.wp-cli/packages/vendor/wp-cli/server-command # Change directory to package path. $ cd $(wp package path) && pwd /home/vagrant/.wp-cli/packages ``` ### wp package update [](#wp-package-update) Updates installed WP-CLI packages to their latest version. ``` wp package update [...] [--interaction] ``` ``` [...] One or more package names to update. If not specified, all packages will be updated. [--interaction] Control interactive mode. Use `--no-interaction` to disable prompts (interactive by default). Useful for scripting. ``` **EXAMPLES** ``` # Update all packages. $ wp package update Using Composer to update packages... --- Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies Resolving dependencies through SAT Dependency resolution completed in 0.074 seconds Analyzed 1062 packages to resolve dependencies Analyzed 22383 rules to resolve dependencies Writing lock file Generating autoload files --- Success: Packages updated. # Update a specific package. $ wp package update wp-cli/server-command Using Composer to update packages... --- Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies Writing lock file Generating autoload files --- Success: Package updated successfully. ``` ### wp package uninstall [](#wp-package-uninstall) Uninstalls a WP-CLI package. ``` wp package uninstall [--insecure] [--interaction] ``` **OPTIONS** ``` Name of the package to uninstall. [--insecure] Retry downloads without certificate validation if TLS handshake fails. Note: This makes the request vulnerable to a MITM attack. [--interaction] Control interactive prompts. Use `--no-interaction` to disable interactive questions (useful for scripting). ``` **EXAMPLES** ``` # Uninstall package. $ wp package uninstall wp-cli/server-command Removing require statement for package 'wp-cli/server-command' from /home/person/.wp-cli/packages/composer.json Removing repository details from /home/person/.wp-cli/packages/composer.json Removing package directories and regenerating autoloader... Success: Uninstalled package. ``` Installing ---------- [](#installing) This package is included with WP-CLI itself, no additional installation necessary.
